More Blotz Terrain

Continuing my feeble attempts to improve my terrain, I finished off some more of these Blotz Terrain Lazer cut wooden "puzzles"

2 stone jetties and a "damaged" wooden one 

 I used these EWM Bedouin for scale purposes in this photo I added a Minimi boat (again for scale)

 Wooden fencing
Again easy flat-pack style, you get 6 x 5 inch strips plus a gate (again figures for scale)

 

 

 

Generic Market place

I`m not very good with terrain or the visual appeal of our games, it really isn`t that critical to me. I do however aim of try and improve and occasionally try my hand a something. Here is my attempt at a generic third world market place, which could be usable in any of our games - Rif War, Tunisia or even Mexico once i have suitable civilians.

The cobble-stone base is Vac-U-Form

Hay wagon from Combat Miniatures (new wheels), the Arab is also Combat Miniatures (a camel rider I think?)

 

 Britannia donkey cart (new wheels)

Retrokit goats & goatherd, the boy is from S&S Models  

 Various Arabs (Retrokit & S&S Models)

Combat Miniatures mule

 Blotz Terrain market stalls with S&S Models goods

 

 Blotz Terrain handcart with various S&S Models terrain items

The whole lot set out with buildings to give a general idea.

 

 

 A different setting using African civilians and a Toyota (all from S&S Models)

 

 

Late war Germans

Something a little different: some late war Germans

 Rag tag infantry or Panzergrenadier squad

A mix of Elheim Panzer Lehr plus a new early war LMG team, a couple of Underfire Miniatures figures, plus an off FAA grenadier and an SHQ officer

Beute T30 halftrack, Tunisia `43

Captured T30 half-track based loosely on this photo

This vehicle was part of I/Panzergrenadier-Regiment 86 

Old Skytrex model (thanks to Alan Owen) 

I build the shield out of plastic card (poorly I know) and added mixed stowage.

The gun crew are SHQ, the driver comes as part of the kit, I gave him a quick head-swap

 

More 10th Panzer bits

Lost my painting mojo for February/March and most of April, I`m still not myself, but decided I had to force myself off my arse and get stuff done, heres the first attempts -

Another 251C for my 10th Panzer/Tunisia project, I`m not 100% sure whether this will join II/69 PG or become the second vehicles of 3/49th Panzer Pioneer?

Minimi 251C with added stowage, the crew are mostly SHQ

A couple of spare infantry (SHQ)

Medic and casualty (Elhiem)

Spanish 1980/90s Nato force

Quite a while back Richard Crawley of the SOTCW started a 20mm participation game project based in the fictional country of Andrevia. Now I don`t do moderns much and didn`t have anything suitable to take part so build a small NATO element, to be different I decided to choose Spanish.

For troops I mixed and matched any wearing fatigues and M-1 pot helmets armed with a mixture of G-3 or MG3 LMGs 

 Platoon20 Yanks (I swapped the M60 for a MG3)

 M113 & M106 mortar carrier (both Esci kits) I added the MG3 to the mortar carrier

 Soldats - Elhiem (Iraqi), converted Platoon20 Egyptian (head swapped, added MP5)

 Another converted Platoon20 Egyptian (again head swapped, this time with G3), Elhiem West German 

 

 Elheim West Germans
